Being 18-22 is a weird stage in life, and nothing describes the awkwardness of figuring it out quite like the beloved sitcom "Friends." From relationships to career struggles, the friends' reactions to life can at times be pretty relatable to college students.
1. Early mornings
Whether it's at 8 a.m. during class or at 4 a.m. while still doing homework, we all know the dumbest things are said during the early hours.
2. Giving advice
Sometimes you just don't know what to say, but you still want to be there for your friends.
3. Giving a tour of your tiny shoebox
Dorm rooms aren't exactly spacious, so there's not much to show.
4. When the concept of "group work" is lost
Honestly, how hard is it to just contribute and do your share of the work?
5. Dear Professors Who Assign Said Group Work:
How do they still not realize by this point that one person will end up doing the entire project?
6. Creating a new language
With friends being around each other so much, they're bound to end up with vocabulary that is really only a thing in their group. That can make for some awkward moments when the words are accidentally used with other people.
7. Weekend plans sometimes get ruined...
You have plans to go out of town? Too bad, now you're suddenly staying in all weekend because you have three papers due Sunday night, none of which are started.
8. ... and sometimes things work out, too.
You get to go out now, but it may or may not, unfortunately, be the result of several all-nighters.
9. Trying to remember why you picked an 8:30 class
It may have been completely unavoidable, but that doesn't make it any better.
10. Receiving a project back
It's always a lovely feeling when you can physically see how your essay was torn apart.
11. "Do you have a plan?"
College is the time to figure out yourself and what you want to do with your life, but sometimes you just can't deal with that.
12. Having unnecessary responsibilities forced upon you
I'm sorry, but does it look like I have time to add tons of work to my schedule just because you can't do your job?
13. Someone takes your seat
There is an unspoken rule about unassigned assigned seats. If it's not your seat, do. Not. Sit. There. Then I'll have to sit in someone else's seat, and they'll have to do the same until eventually, everything's wrong. Don't be that person who creates unnecessary chaos.
14. Working out
Does anyone else feel like they're constantly being judged while at the gym?
15. "But this is for life."
Getting into in a relationship may seem like the most important thing at times, but you need to remember that your friends are the ones who will always be there for you. Who else will make plans with you specifically to eat pints of ice cream while binge-watching Saturday Night Live sketches?
16. The truth about dining halls
They may be decent as far as college dining goes, but every school has that one dining hall you know to definitely avoid.
17. It's okay to be different.
Pheobe was always true to herself, and we could learn a thing or two from her about that. Never change yourself just to get someone to like you or to fit the mold that society deems to be perfect.
Considering it's college, we don't even know what we don't know, yet when it comes to our friends, "They don't know that we know they know we know." Between the confusion of knowing and not knowing, that pretty much explains college.
